MINISTRY: The House of Mercy

The House of Mercy is one of the houses run by the Indonesian Carmelite NGO. This house is located on Gang Belas Kasih, Jalan Arteri Supadio Parit Tengkorak Komplek Bali Permai, Sungai Raya, Kubu Raya, Pontianak. This house was opened on February 2, 2015. The house provides non-formal educations for girls. Girls are the focus of the ministry of the house since many girls from that area become victims of human trafficking. Many of them are trapped as unskilled migrant labours and not few of them are trapped as prostitutes. The house provides different types of training for girls so that they may have good skills to work in their own town or country. The trainings include cooking classes, reading classes (for those who are illiterate), and English classes.
